Jack Flash Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This is just thinking out loud but I'm convinced the 'personal reasons' are Pardew-related. 100% convinced. They had a falling out quite recently, which our beloved manager was quick to publicize for no apparent reason.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Surely he's trying to put a marker down that big improvements are required and nobody's "safe". Why isn't he telling that to the first team players who have let him down, rather than a bunch of kids? The same first team players who you champion at every given opportunity in order to highlight Pardew's failings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what happens when you show no ambition and as result useless tosh play alongside players who deserve better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just always think worst case scenario inregards to Pardew, that way you can never be shocked by his ineptitude anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely mental but I knew this would be bumped straight away. The press have absolutely no comeback with stuff like this or transfer stories, they can write whatever they like and if it doesn't come off they will just write another story can't (well I can really) believe the reactions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 One of his trademarks is losing the dressing room and he's admitted (for no reason) they had a falling out recently. It might be jumping to conclusions but it's not much of a jump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 As every day goes on he's looking more and more under pressure and looking less likely to turn it around. Having said that there is literally no viable alternative. Cant think of many managers who'd actively come and work under Ashley like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Anyway. Quarter of the way through the season, and this result tees us up nicely to finish in a vastly underwhelming 10th or thereabouts as I predicted at the beginning of the season. Smug is me. Beyond that lies the sale of Hatem Ben Arfa et al, and the fall away from our 2011/12 apex. It'll be a whole new set of players and a good few years before we're back to such heights again. In a way, I envy Aston Villa.. at least they've hit the nadir of their cycle and are now on the way back up again. We've got a lot of downhill left. How wrong I was.

It might be jumping to conclusions but it's not much of a jump. Former players of his say the opposite; say he's too pally pally with the players and is more a mate than a coach.

Big Geordie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Worrying times. Something not right going on at the club, IMO. Free-fall is in danger of turning into the club imploding again. Just what the feck is going on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Needs to avoid defeat saturday imo. Another loss and the ground will erode beneath this club, what with all the bad press recently. The press will finally twig something is up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
